  • It's terrible when it's windy! It's so scary! You can feel the arch swaying back & forth!:p but all in all, the arch is really cool! You can get some neat pics of the city at the top!

  • I was in that exact same tram last summer!

  • are you on the right side or the left?

  • Is It Fast!

  • Ahhh St Louis, the city where a man from Hawaii (me) met a girl from Delaware. The Arch was where it kicked off our relationship. As they say the rest is history ;)

  • i just went there yesterday no joke:)

  • This is were I live. Much more fun in real life.

  • Was there in 75, don't remember the trip being that long......but well worth it.

  • The trick is to get there early. The family went there on July 3rd this year. Got there about 10am. It was pretty packed then. By noon the line to buy tickets were all the way on the other side of the room (near the main gift shop) and it was a mad house.

    If you get there when it opens, it should be easy going.

  • I enjoyed this archway trip back in March

  • I've never had the benefit of seeing this modern marvel in person, but I just found out this monument celebrates its 44th birthday on June 10th. Guess what tomorrow is? Happy 44th Birthday, Gateway Arch!

  • omg why does this thing rock back and forth when going diagonally. i wasn't in that car when i was there. also there used to be music when going up or down in both trams. one of them still does

  • i was in that exact tram once. it was tram number 8.

  • do you start going up laying down?

    Anyway going tomorrow

  • If you like this type in nicholasvlk in the youtube search bar, I made a vidio from the top of the gateway arch!

  • *cable breaks*

  • It looks like fun. I'll have to check it out one day for sure!

  • i went there !!

  • My cousin was crying when I went up there when I was eight. It was so awkward.

  • I got lightheaded just looking up at the arch from the base. There was no way in hell i was going to the top. lol, but it was cool. went there 2 days ago

  • i was on the same elevator yesturday

  • I've been under the Gateway Arch. 

  • Darn my family was there to our trip to Indiana to meet Aunts and Uncles but the wait to go up the Arch was 2 hours and we didn't have enough time! :( Oh well I took good pictures.

  • I rode on that same elevator last week

  • I had trouble with going up the Washington Monument! I'd NEVER be able to do this! XD

  • i wanna go up in this!

  • I heard the elevator got stuck a while back ago. That would be dam scary,

  • WTF? You didn't even show the window part of it. >.>

  • i rode up in it also, and my uncle scared the shit out of me by shaking the cart we were in, i hate heights but that just mde it 10x worse

  • @mr1derful112 if my uncle did that i would punch him in the face

  • Oh my god. I rode to the top of the arch yesterday and I was freaking out about the ride up there. The little capsule/pod thing you ride up and down in is tiny! I was feeling soooo cluster phobic in there. But when I got to the top, it was definitely worth it. The views are amazing. And I could feel it swaying. Do visit if you go to St. Louis.

  • Scary ride up, but an absolute must see!

  • I am telling you guys this was fun ! I am a big traveler and I visited the Gateway Arch about a week ago... it is not really that big as you think it is ... But anyways the elevator ride is pretty cool ! Not that much luxury, but it is cool ! At the top, where the observation deck and stuff is, there are windows on each side ... The only thing I didn't like is that the windows were not that big enough ... But it is awesome ! You have to go visit it if you travel to St. Louis !!

  • i remember me 6 years old ridin that thing its not scary at all it just weirdly amazing!

  • not scary at all, amazing view. it's a MUST if ur ever in St. Louis. Go up or you'll regret it!

  • fun, not scary

  • Is there windows in the arch so you can look outside?

  • yes, there are.. i've been up it too. talk about claustrophobic. WOW. lol

  • Yep ! But they aren't really that big ....

  • woot hazelwood in the house

  • it scary up there i should no i live there in st. louis

  • true dat i have rode it 8 times and still almost piss my pants

  • Its not scary the people in the tram are over reacting.I would know because I live in st louis and thats the exact tram I went up in.

  • Comment removed

  • i live in stl, ive never been up in the arch. i would probably barf, cry and pee my pants. i dont like roller coasters, and i hear it sways :)

  • i am uber claustrophobic and I am going up friday. Aren't i smart?

  • I think it may help with your claustrophobia. I was told that, but I never been on it. Now I can't because I don't live in St. Louis anymore, but I think it might help. So, your smart.

  • well, too bad about that, too long of waits. Couldnt go.

  • 5 hours? If it is less, that isn't long compared to what I been through.

  • ive always wondered does the elevator go like sideways

  • No, it goes up diagonally...

  • @unsignedint Yup, that is why I came to this video. That answers the question.

  • @unsignedint HOW?

  • @cubs1 it goes up then to the side and it does that at certain points

  • @cubs1 it goes up theen sideways . if you heard that sort of buzz sound that was when it went sideways

  • @cubs1 wow your smart (: lol i dont know what it does but im going in it tomorrow .

  • i went up today lol

  • they didnt give us that closing door warning when me and my class were there last monday. lol.

  • I was there in 6th Grade...IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO BREATH

  • that was the most amazing sight at the top though. The ride up was welll worth it :)

  • afraid? hahaha
